Directory released

A new local directory has been released on the Peninsula, with another edition expected to be released in January.

Sarah Rimmer and Jane Tenney came up for the idea of The Local while they were finding their way around the Peninsula.

Ms Rimmer and Ms Tenney said that their belief was that the Peninsula had a lot to offer, but that there was no "central resource" for anyone to refer to.

That is when they decided to create "The Local".

The first half of the directory contains community listings commencing with emergency and helpline numbers.

The second half comprises of classified advertising and listings essential to the running of a household.

All community listings are free of charge and revenue is raised through advertising sales.

Throughout the directory, there are short stories and articles of local interest; anecdotes and useful website addresses
